Impact of Flood on Primary School Going Students’ Performance: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

The result of this research showed that flood impacts directly on the performance of the primary school-going students. The study discovered that students' access to their educational rights was disrupted and that there were significant levels of sensitivity to the effects of flooding. According to the findings, both public and private assets incur more damage during a flood disaster. The study suggests educating students about disasters and getting acquainted with them so they can adapt to their impacts. The operation of education in good facilities increases the quality of education and improves overall student performance. The study's findings demonstrated that floods had a direct effect on elementary school pupils' academic performance. The study found that there were notable levels of sensitivity to the impacts of floods and that students' access to their rights to an education was hindered. The results show that after a flood disaster, assets owned by the public and private sectors sustain more damage. According to the study, in order for pupils to be able to adjust to the effects of catastrophes, they need learn about and get familiar with them. When education is conducted in well-maintained facilities, both the overall performance of students and the quality of instruction are enhanced.
